Good question. I tend to think of its results as related more to education than anything else, but I might be wrong... efeefe
What Challenge 2008 category is most suitable for your project? Specify the category that most closely fits the part of your project where ICT has the greatest role or impact, even if that is not the most important part of the project as far as you are concerned. (Culture, Economic Development, Education, Environment, Public Administration, Health)
Brief description:
Describe the project in one sentence (600 characters).
From the english version of the site:
- MetaReciclagem is an open network spread in different parts of Brasil (and beyond). Its members carry out in a de-centralized fashion dozens of projects and actions regarding the appropriation of technology and media production as a participative methodology for education, social engagement and innovation. We have contributed to establishing nearly a dozen autonomous low-tech labs and some government funded projects.
Vision, objectives and goals:
Describe the broader vision of your project and what it aims to achieve. Note the milestones that you expect to achieve along the way to that goal and especially any that you have already reached.
Objectives and goals are so diverse and changing that it's hard to answer that question.
- The most probable collective goal of MetaReciclagem is to enable potential inventors in different parts of Brazil to group, interact, learn and develop projects with who have similar interests.
How does ICT contribute to the organisational objectives:
Describe the special impact that using ICT has made to achieving your over-all objectives.
- Understanding technology in a broad and open way, we have been able to build an effective community of practice that keeps changing and transforming itself and the different localities to which it is related. People with different backgrounds and not necessarily the same opinions are constantly building, crashing and rebuilding what is understood as MetaReciclagem. Articulating hundreds of people in different parts of a continental land as Brazil would never have been possible without ICT. We have used mailing lists and wikis, as well as self-publishing environments and open formats such as RSS feeds in a critical way for that.

depends on the focus we decide... I think online community is best to think of the whole network, while focusing in Manaus maybe community would be best, innit?" efeefe

I have written somewhere about how useless it is to think about a target for MetaReciclagem, but don't remember where efeefe
User needs:
How do you know that your target groups need the products or services that you provide? How did you find that out?
Summary:
Summarize your project and your ongoing activities. Focus on the role that ICT plays in your project, rather than the overall project.
